Norwegian Black Metallers ENDEZZMA have inked a deal with Pulverised Records for the release of their sophomore full-length album. The finishing touches are currently being applied to the album, and it is anticipated that it will be released in the spring. Commenting on the move to Pulverised, frontman and founder Morten Shax had this to say: “We’re excited to be working with the guys from Pulverised as they have shown that they understand the band and what we are trying to achieve with our music, and that they are willing to work with us to that end”.

Details about the album have not been made public yet, but it will be the follow up to 2012’s “Erotik Nekrosis”, an album that showcased ENDEZZMA‘s trademark sound with it’s cold and aggressive undertones and eerie atmosphere. It also became somewhat of an epitaph for the late Trondr Nefas (URGEHAL, BEASTCRAFT, VULTURE LORD) being, as it was, the last release he would ever record.

Aside from Shax on vocals, ENDEZZMA‘s lineup also includes Mattis Malphas (BEASTCRAFT, HAGL, KOLDBRANN) and Nihil on guitars, Carl Balam (TROLL) on drums, and the most recent addition, Jimmy Lucifer on bass. “We have a superb lineup now” explains Shax, “musicians who are experienced, skilled and hungry – perfect for ENDEZZMA in other words. I don’t want to give anything away about the new album, and we will be announcing more details soon, but fans can expect a high level of aggression and musicianship“.

Pulverised Records has announced the signing of Swedish grind guerrillas EXHALE.

Formed in 2004, EXHALE has proven to be a devastating force, bombarding the grindcore community with two full-length albums, “Prototype” in 2006 and “Blind” in 2010.

Due in early 2013, EXHALE‘s new CD, “When Worlds Collide”, sees the band taking on a much more dynamic approach while still maintaining an extremely strict diet of sick and demented modern grind-sanity.

Commented the band: “We’re really proud to announce that we have inked a deal with Pulverised Records. The label has released some really good albums during the years (BOMBS OF HADES, DESULTORY, MORBUS CHRON, just to name a few), so it feels great to be among them.

“‘When Worlds Collide’ contains 14 tracks of grinding death metal. You will recognize the sound of EXHALE but there are also a few surprises for you!

“Can’t wait to release this monster! See you on the road in 2013!”

Added Pulverised Records A&R Manager Calvin: “Throughout the years of our search for the signing the ‘right’ bands, there were, of course, many bands that we felt were a great addition to our roster. Then came along EXHALE‘s four-song promo by way of email one day, and those four tracks became an instant hit with us! There are some real serious chops and unbelievably stalwart songwriting amongst all that chaos; it is almost unreal.

“We are extremely proud to have EXHALE join the Pulverised family, and we cannot wait to present ‘When Worlds Collide’ on a worldwide domination crusade. Onward to grind-gotha we shall!”

EXHALE recently filmed a video for the song “Wrath Unleashed,” the opening track from “When Worlds Collide”. The clip, which can be seen below, was shot and directed by acclaimed Swedish videographer Daniel Falk from FramedNoise.com.

German melodic dark metallers AUTUMNBLAZE will release their new album, “Every Sun Is Fragile”, this winter via Pulverised Records. The CD artwork was created by acclaimed artist Travis Smith (DEATH, NEVERMORE, KATATONIA, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD). The effort will be made available in two different formats: a standard jewel case version and a limited-edition slipcase version. The slipcase edition will offer alternate artwork and be made available in limited quantities.

Spawned in 1995, AUTUMNBLAZE released four full-length albums and two EPs before the bandmembers laid the group to rest in 2006 in search of other musical endeavors. The band ultimately reformed just two years later to release their critically lauded “Perdition Diaries” longplayer in 2009.

Commented drummer Arisjel of the upcoming endeavor: “Expect a various blend of epic/melancholic metal and rock.These are some of the most ambitious songs we’ve ever written and everything was captured by the amazing production of our friend Charles Greywolf (POWERWOLF, FLOWING TEARS).”

Swedish Melodic Gloom Lords OCTOBER TIDE have officially inked a worldwide deal with Pulverised Records!
Shortly a year after OCTOBER TIDE announced their reformation, the band wasted no time and went on to release the acclaimed new album after eleven years with “A Thin Shell”.

Come 2012, OCTOBER TIDE is currently preparing and hard at work on the untitled new album, which will once again precipitate some serious mournful tunes and the beauty of darkness and sorrow have never been so sonically enchanting.

OCTOBER TIDE have scheduled the recording of the untitled new album at the renowned Black Lounge Studio (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge, In Mourning, Centinex, etc) in Sweden. The production duties will once again be handled under the helm of Jonas Kjellgren.

In an official statement by OCTOBER TIDE drummer Robin Bergh: “We are extremely pleased to sign with Pulverised Records for the next album and beyond. During the negotiations for the new deal we noticed that Roy, Calvin and the entire Pulverised crew were seriously thrilled about the band and the art we create, hence we are confident that this doomish union will bring OCTOBER TIDE to the next level. Our new strong line-up feels utterly satisfying and we are more than ready for the future to come. We are currently finishing up the writing process for the yet untitled fourth full-length which will be recorded during May and June at Black Lounge Studio with Mr. Jonas Kjellgren behind the knobs. This upcoming OCTOBER TIDE recording will surely be a deadly doom metal masterpiece, you mark my words!”

Pulverised Records label manager Roy Yeo further commented: “Having been a personal long-time fan of the band, there was no way we would let this chance slip past us to sign them for the new album! With their brand of despondent and mind-numbing modus operandi that is truly unique to OCTOBER TIDE, it is clearly evident that the band had already found their sound as heard on “A Thin Shell”. Now that the album deal is signed, sealed and delivered, we now wait in anticipation on how the brand new opus will mould itself into yet another benchmark masterpiece!

In other OCTOBER TIDE-related news, the band recently underwent a line-up change with both singer Tobias Netzell and bass-player Pierre Stam leaving the band for personal commitments and other musical projects. Coming on board the OCTOBER TIDE camp are Mattias Norrman (ex-Katatonia, ex-Interment, etc) on bass and Alexander Högbom (Volturyon, Spasmodic) on vocals.

Swedish deathcrust ensemble BOMBS OF HADES has inked a deal with Pulverised Records.

Spawned in 2002 as a crustpunk act, BOMBS OF HADES quickly mutated into a gristly old-school Swedish death metal direction, while still retaining a strong d-beat/crust vibe. Fronted by Jonas Stålhammar (GOD MACABRE, UTUMNO) who recently served briefly with legendary Swedish thrashers THE CROWN, the band is now geared up for its second full-length, entitled “A Serpent’s Redemption”. The follow-up to 2010’s “Chambers Of Abominations”, which was released via Blood Harvest Records, is expected to drop sometime next year.

Commented Stålhammar: “BOMBS OF HADES are psyched to have the next album released through Pulverised.

“‘A Serpent’s Redemption’ will satisfy souls starved for some true old-school death metal and will be unleashed before the summer of 2012.”

Added Pulverised Records A&R manager Calvin Chiang: “BOMBS OF HADES are one band that have been on our radar for some time now. We finally thought it was time to seize the opportunity to grab them for a brand new record. To further confirm that our gut feeling was correct, our good old friend Ayong (founder of Pulverised Records) coincidentally recommended the band and strongly insisted we get BOMBS OF HADES on our roster by hook or by crook! Expect full-blown death metal abomination!”

Pulverised Records has announced the signing of Swedish death metal rebels NECROCURSE.

Rising from the filth-lands of Uddevalla and Ljungskile, Sweden, NECROCURSE was spawned in the year 2004 with the musical love for all things brutal and ugly. Consisting of current and former members from NIFELHEIM, NECRONAUT, RUNEMAGICK, DEATHWITCH and SWORDMASTER, to name a few, the band is now ready to incur utter chaos and total annihilation with an upcoming full-length debut album to be released in 2012.

Commented the band: “The time has come for the death metal rebels to rise from the grave, and forge a full album release of the metal of death! NECROCURSE are proud to announce the collaboration with Pulverised Records for the upcoming, yet-untitled album. The upcoming release will be recorded during the coming winter and include at least nine tracks of insane morbid death…”

Added Pulverised Records label manager Roy Yeo: “Having NECROCURSE on our roster was an easy choice, for the fact that the musical style and direction of NECROCURSE fitted perfectly to what Pulverised Records is all about; quality and authentic death metal. We knew immediately that the band badly needed a proper full-length album to further showcase their devastating brand of Swedish death metal at its finest!

NECROCURSE has just released a new seven-inch EP, “Insane Curse Of Morbidity”, in through Aftermath Music.

Commented Stuvemark: “All we’ve heard about [Pulverised] — and through our own experience during negotiating with the label — has been good! Now we can aim to record the debut album. The recording will take place this summer and with this excellent lineup, we are ready to cause some damage, so keep yer eyes and ears open!”

Added Pulverised Records A&R manager Calvin Chiang: “After we heard about SKINEATER, it was obviously a no-brainer that their brand of crushing death metal fitted the Pulverised roster perfectly. With their downright devastating and ruthless vibe combined with a slight tinge of melodic elements; we knew there was something remarkable about SKINEATER! The band is all set to record their debut album in the summer, so be prepared for some skin-crawling death metal this year!”
